Vote on boarding houses in North Canaan is Oct. 26

NORTH CANNAN — An ordinance to regulate boarding houses has been drafted and will be brought to a town meeting to be held on Thursday, Oct. 26, at 7 p.m.

At their regular meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 4, the selectmen voted to call the meeting.

“Boarding houses are a problem,” First Selectman Douglas Humes said. The town expected that a state law governing boarding houses would be passed, but none has come along. Copies of the new ordinance can be seen at the town meeting or in advance at Town Hall.
